Our reporters managed to catch Spence pulling off quite a nice bluff in the second-to-last level of the day that got his stack up to 200,000 in chips. There were about 75,000 chips in the middle when both Daniel Francis and Spence checked the turn on a board of . When the hit the river, Spence fired out 25,000, and Francis went deep into the tank. He thought for a good three minutes before finally folding his hand, and Spence asked, "Do you want to see it?" Francis seemed indifferent, but eventually said yes, and Spence tabled the for a busted straight draw.

The 25 players are now off to get some rest before they return at 12:15 local time on Saturday. From there, we will play until we've reach our final table of nine. It should be a fun few hours, so make sure you don’t miss out on it.
